me squirm with envy. Oh, wouldst that I had been tapped on the noggin by Apollo’s lyre when talent was there for the drilling. : Appolo, you know, was a terrific lyre player and a god of music, archery and prophecy. This Apollo, unfortunately, I. didn’t know as a little monster. The only one I knew had a fruit store, couldn't coax music out of a player piano and could run like: the devil himself whenever one of his oranges or apples took off down the street. :
Finally Chooses Hurdy-Gurdy -
THERE WERE MANY instruments that caught my fancy as a boy. At different times, I had deeided to be the world’s greatest pianist, violinist,
harpist, trombonist. Once, when the list, had nar-
rowed down to the piccolo and the hurdy-gurdy, I chose the latter. The piccolo, for some reason, was

So it was the other day when curiosity was giving me the hotfoot, that I ups and pops the question to Peter Wilkins, piccolo player and third flautist with the Indianapolis Symphony. Orchestra. « By Zeus, what Pete had to say almost floored me. Musicians don’t start with the piccolo. They learn to play the flute, an instrument usually twice as large as the piccolo. -

"Real Heroines
By Harman Nichols
“WASHINGTON, Mar. 20-«- The first day of ~ spring is just up the road. And like as not that'll mean housé-cleaning time in the lighthouses off our shores. : The job will be done by the keepers’ women folks—unsung and unpaid heroines. Wives of the keepers have been acting as assistants for years without drawing a dime from Uncle Sam. But a bill now before Congress would rectify, at least in part, an old wrong. It wouldn’t
put the wives on the federal payroll, but it would
“provide benefits to widows of lighthouse keepers. “The House Marine and Fisheries Committee is looking into a bill introduced by Rep. Edward A. Garmatz, (D. Md.). It's a sort of deferred salary payment measure to benefit ‘Widows of lighthouse keepers.
Their Average Age Is 76
RIGHT now there are 389 such widows. and their average age is 76. Thomas A. Lee, secretary of the active retired lighthouse service employees, points out that a civilian lighthouse keeper's wife has been part'and parcel of the lighthouse service in all respects but one—she isn't on the federal payroll. During fog time, who keeps the lighthouse while the tired keeper is asleep? The man’s lady. Who has to know about wind, rain, snow and fog? Who gets on the semaphore, the wig-wag or flag hoists when the old man is tied up? In the old days, who had to know a rum-running vessel off shore when she saw one? Who got out the broom and dust

Bargains in Bags
WASHINGTON, Mar. 20—The question facing our government today is what's wrong with a 8opd, serviceable old bag, as compared with a shiny new bag, fer carrying blue-dyed potatoes to their final dumping place? Prepare to weep, fellow taxpayers; my tale “isn’t funny, largely because the conscientious Department of Agriculture refuses ‘to save money ~hyy-holding the bag: Or so said Harry I."Rand, the general counsel of the National Association of Second-Hand Burlap Bag Dealers.-
It's Costing Us Money
MR. RAND, an intense little man behind oversized horn-rimmed eyeglasses, wasn't thinking about the money lost by the voters on buying PQtatoes by the millions of bushels and reselling them at 1 cent a bag. What worried him was the bags, themselves. They cost 22 cents each. Since the beginning of time, said he, farmers
_-had sold their potatoes. in second-hand-bags. Then: along came the government as history's greatest
potato buyer, to dock them 10 cents for every old bag they used. So they turned to new bags. : Now the government is selling new bags loaded with old potatoes for a penny each to alcohol dis-
tillers, who-can-throw-the-potatoes-away and make
a handsome profit on the bags, he said. “The government ought to hold the bag,” he eried, “and sell it to the dealers at auction. That'd save the taxpayer something.” "Mr. Rand was talking to an aghast group of Senators in charge of trying to write a new law to get’potatoes out of the government's hair. In the background squirmed the federal potato specialists. Sen. Edward J. Thye (R. Minn.) wondered why the government couldn't sell the potatoes, without the bags, to the. distillers. “They bid for the potatoes with the thought of the bags in mind,” replied Sylvester Smith, the cigaret-smoking potato spokesman for the Agriculture Department.

Winding Signal Was Real Work
“I can assure you, sir, that winding a fog signal and winding a clock are entirely different. It was hard work—manual labor. When something went wrong with the machinery, and it oftea did, I'd have to pick up ‘a“heavy sledge hammer and ring the bell that way-—every 20 seconds.” Mrs. ‘Aronson is one among many..

And another thing, interjected bagman Rand. A few weeks back the government sold to Spain 1,120,000 bags of Maine potatoes for a penny each. The Spaniards were pleased; he was told, not so
much because of the cheap potatoes but because
of the bags, which were worth 30 cents apiece in Spain. . ,
This means that for $11,200 the Spaniards got...
$336,000 worth of bags, without even counting the 112 million pounds of potatoes we kind of threw in for free. Or so figured Counsel Rand. }
